Reviews from the Aural Realms is a curated series of music features presented by Other Worlds Than These, where sound becomes story and every note paints a new landscape. This ongoing series embraces music of all kinds — from intimate solo works to expansive productions — highlighting art that moves the listener and sparks the imagination.
Penned by composer and sonic storyteller Keith Richie (aka Maestoso), these pieces aren’t just critiques — they’re reflections from a fellow traveler, written with respect for the artist’s voice and vision. Each review seeks to capture not only how the music sounds, but also how it feels and what it evokes.
Whether you’re a fan discovering new sounds, a fellow creator in search of inspiration, or simply someone who believes music is a journey worth taking — this realm is for you.
